A Secret for a Secret

Should-have-been business partner (SP) is still feeling disappointed at how her failed partnership with Rich Investor (RI) led to ill feelings. SP and RI became acquainted when they were introduced by a common friend. As the business was being planned, SP managed to convince RI to place her capital and trust in SP. However, time passed and nothing happened and RI realized that she was faced with a loss.

Meanwhile, to salvage her face and relationship with RI, SP took the blame, as she was the one who led RI to the failed venture. She promised to pay back RI, but requested that RI keep the situation a secret. However, RI forgot and let the cat out of the bag, so to speak, to someone. SP found out and felt RI breached their agreement, which had resulted in embarrassment.

Similarly, RI had a family matter that she requested SP not to divulge. One time, when they were still discussing their future business, SP saw how RI treated her family members, who are based in the province, at her home. SP recounted that the family was amazed at the opulence of RI’s home and RI seemed uncomfortable with her family’s behavior. The family would have photo-ops at various parts of RI’s home, but RI would refuse to join them. SP apparently overheard RI say not to post in social media photos that included her, or else their allowance might not arrive. Further, SP noticed that RI seemed to look so much better than her family and she thought of the enhancements that RI might have undertaken.

As soon as RI was done entertaining, she went back to SP and they started to talk. SP was curious and asked RI why she did not want her photos with her family uploaded. RI simply said that she was protecting her family from bashers. Then, she requested SP not to reveal what she had witnessed in the home.

‘Friendship- my definition- is built on two things. Respect and trust. Both elements have to be there. And it has to be mutual. You can have respect for someone, but if you don't have trust, the friendship will crumble.’ ― Stieg Larsson
